A Propos - the United States of America

We are customary people.
A democracy that is unequal.
Structured through immigration
Native to the form 
We embrace diversity.
We are humanitarians born.
The thread of our beings unites us.
Grandparents Mother Father Sisters Brothers Uncles Aunts Nieces Nephews Cousins Husband Wife and Child
Friends within a world of nationalities
We are the United States of America.
One big family

Rooted to our past, we are strength unbound.
Open-minded to our constituents, we are amalgamated for a common cause.
We are so defined that integration has confound.
Two-hundred and thirty-eight years we perplex.
Who annihilates us does not exist.
We are the United States of America.
Bold and beautiful 
Dogma
Guiding principles documented
Strategy militantly
A plan
Platform
Vigor 
Dynamism captured!
APROPOS

Walker Date: 4/17/2014 1:10:00 AM Rick, that because of the lack of support from the father and/or the mother to their child or children. I would say that what you mean in ..."highly dis functional." Thanks for your supportive comment? Verlena :0))s
